"Which little Zhou has really never shot a small prey with a shotgun? Like a rabbit or a pheasant or something else?" Yang Qide asked.
"Really not." The old man answered without any hesitation and was very sure.
Yang Qide thought to himself that the investigation and analysis by Deputy Director Guan Dexing was generally good. This aspect was his strength. The results of his investigation were very consistent with the old man's words.
It seems that Brother Xiao Zhou is really not a hunter.
Brother Xiao Zhou must have other plans, otherwise he would be wandering around in the mountains and forests with a shotgun in the middle of the night?
Wild beasts appear and appear in the mountains and forests, and ferocious animals are extremely dangerous to people, often taking human lives invisibly. It can be said that it is a place where traps are everywhere, startling at every step, and dangerous.
How many people dare to go deep into the dangerous forest alone and are not afraid of the unbridled attacks of blood-eating beasts?
What can put life on hold?
One thing that is certain is that for Brother Xiao Zhou, the new rifled shotgun is just a talisman, a protective weapon, and a self-defense tool. It is used temporarily to deal with ferocious beasts. It has no other meaning.
No wonder that when he revealed his interest in his shotgun, brother Xiao Zhou agreed to give him the gun as a gift without hesitation. There was absolutely no feeling of letting go of the shotgun.
After using something for a long time, you will have a strange feeling. No one will give up something that is handy.
If a person can abandon something like a piece of grass, it either means that the person is indifferent, has no feelings for anything, and regards it as nothing.
Or it must be that he has not yet established a relationship with each other, such as the relationship with this shotgun, which shows that he has not used this shotgun for a long time, which is very short.
Of course Yang Qide believed that it was the latter possibility. Brother Xiao Zhou could not be the kind of person with weak feelings.
In this way, what brother Xiao Zhou said, "Maybe I can no longer hunt, the government has now begun to confiscate shotguns." There is truth and lies.
It is true that holding a gun will not last long and that you cannot hunt. But it is false that he said the reason is because the government will confiscate his hunting rifle because he cannot obtain a hunting license.
He is not a hunter at all, nor does he like hunting rifles. Why does he go hunting in the mountains and forests with a gun all day long?
What brother Xiao Zhou said to him was true and false, false and true, so secretive that it was difficult to figure it out.
An enigmatic person who is a master of martial arts.
Yang Qide had a premonition that he wanted brother Xiao Zhou to come to his home to apply for a hunting license. There was no hope in this life. I'm afraid it will be difficult to see him again.
I am afraid that I will never be able to figure out this riddle. Although I am the director of the regional public security department and have great power, like a prince, I can call the wind and rain, but I can do nothing about this "mystery". I am afraid that if it cannot be solved, it will become an unsolved case and haunt people. A lifetime in your own mind.
Sure enough, until Yang Qide retired, although Yang Qide never forgot Brother Xiao Zhou, he only remained in the depths of his memory.
Yang Qide thought he was going to die with regrets until he saw the scene where Zhou Yunzhen came to save him. How similar!
The action of risking one's life to save others has much in common with Brother Xiao Zhou, and has too many similarities.
Yang Qide's head flashed with thought, and in an instant he overlapped the two people. Could they be?
Yang Qide's thoughts returned to the present.
"Young man, your surname is Zhou. Your father's surname is also Zhou, right?"
Zhou Yunzhen was confused after hearing this. His surname was Zhou. Could it be that his father's surname was not Zhou? Did Mr. Yang in front of me say something stupid?
Of course Zhou Yunzhen couldn't say that Yang Qide was confused. He was stunned for a moment and then immediately replied: "Yes. I take my father's surname, not my mother's surname."
His witty words solved the flaw in Yang Qide's words, which was equivalent to cleverly resolving Yang Qide's siege and making his answer reasonable and impeccable, otherwise Yang Qide's words would make people laugh.
"So how is your father's health now?"
"It's okay, very healthy."
"Does he still have the habit of hunting now? I'm talking about going out for hunting occasionally, such as carrying a new rifled shotgun and walking around in the mountains?"
"Mr. Yang," Zhou Yunzhen said, "I'm a little confused by what you said, just like Monk Zhang Er is confused."
"Why? Are my words difficult to understand?"
"It's not that it's difficult to understand, it's because it's completely incompatible with my father's situation. Mr. Yang may be acting pretentiously and confusing other people's situations with my father's situation."
"why would you say so?"
Zhou Yunzhen was caught up in the memories of the past, "Because my father never hunted, let alone the so-called new rifled shotgun. He also never told me that he liked hunting."
"When I was a child, I remember one time he saw someone selling wild boar meat. Seeing me salivating, he took out the money from his withered wallet and bought me five or six taels to satisfy my craving."
"If my father loved hunting, why would he rather pay for wild boar than hunt a wild boar to improve his life?"
Yang Qide felt disappointed.
So, there is no connection between this Xiao Zhou and the Xiao Zhou thirty years ago?
Unwilling to give up, Yang Qide turned his attention to Luo Xiaoshan beside him. He said vaguely: "One night thirty years ago."
"A night thirty years ago?" Luo Xiaoshan didn't know why. He really couldn't remember a night thirty years ago. There were three hundred and sixty-five nights a year, how could he remember every night?
What's more, it was a night thirty years ago. How could I recall it in an instant?
But Yang Qide played a riddle, maybe because the young man was present and the old leader couldn't speak directly. He could only guess, but he couldn't guess.
Luo Xiaoshan broke out in sweat.
"It was a sleepless night." Yang Qide reminded him evasively.
"Sleepless nights? I work as a security guard. Every day I feel like I'm facing an abyss and walking on thin ice. When have I ever slept peacefully?" Luo Xiaoshan muttered in his heart. "This is too general."
When Yang Qide saw Luo Xiaoshan, he was still confused, so he could only continue to remind him, "It was a night in the forest, and it was thrilling."
This time, Luo Xiaoshan finally understood. The old leader was talking about the tragic human-wolf battle?
That is a mark engraved deep in the memory.
Unforgettable and indelible.
But after hearing this, Luo Xiaoshan was at a loss again. He didn't know what the old leader Yang Qide meant?
Seeing Luo Xiaoshan like this, Yang Qide laughed and cursed in his heart, "It's a muscle, it's a muscle." I have been a guard cadre for so many years, but I don't know that I have eyes and ears in all directions, and I am aware of people's actions. I have done impeccable security work for decades without any accidents. How lucky I am.
He really has no other ability besides being loyal, and sometimes he makes you so angry that you can't do anything about it.
